Crater Slake

Thirsty for space, we follow in time
Forging the holes deeper than recommended
By the experts who are disinterested in the outcomes
That will pay their salaries for the next fifty years
Down, down, into the earth, ripping an inverse
Scar out of the parts too well known for a feast
Unworthy of the plate that carries the load 
From one table to the counter and back
